Instructions:
Project Selection: Choose a design problem that you are passionate about. This could be a problem you’ve identified in your community, a challenge faced by a business, or an opportunity to improve an existing product or service.
Research: Conduct thorough research on your chosen problem. This should include both primary and secondary research methods. Understand the context, the users, and the current solutions that exist.
Ideation: Generate a wide range of ideas for solving the problem. Use brainstorming techniques, sketching, and other ideation methods. Don’t limit yourself at this stage – the more ideas, the better.
Concept Development: Select the most promising ideas from your ideation phase and develop them into detailed concepts. Consider the feasibility, desirability, and viability of each concept.
Prototyping: Create prototypes of your concepts. These could be sketches, 3D models, or interactive prototypes, depending on the nature of your project.
Testing: Test your prototypes with users. Gather feedback and use it to refine your designs.
Final Design: Based on the feedback, finalize your design. Make sure it is detailed and polished.
Documentation: Document your entire design process in a project report. This should include your research findings, your ideation process, your concept development, your prototypes, and your final design. Include images, sketches, and other visual materials to support your text.
